Thanks guys for all your comments.
Since I live here in Chile , things are very different.
Bonsai as a hobby is very very new , you can count those that practice this art , I would say there are about 30 people here in chile that actually do bonsais.
So for me to find the tools needed is virtually impossible, and when you find them they are so expensive that it is cheaper to buy them from ebay and pay de $20 or $25 mail cost. Oh...and not to mention the bitchiness between Bonsai growers.
Now because things are so expensive one has to improvise , especially with the wirring , copper wire is the only type of wire avaliable that is affordable so that is why I am using electrical wire to help with the styling .
Now since I need thicker wire to bend the trunk more [how much more?] I will go out and search for galvanised wire discarded from construction sites.
It's free and easily gotten.
Thanks again , could you guys comment on my other Juniper I have posted here, give me ideas on how to prune it.
thanks
